DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe objectives of this study are to assess the role of small ruminants (sheep and goats) in the food production systems of developing countries, examine their advantages and disadvantages, analyze the constraints limiting their further contribution to the welfare of small farm/low income rural producers, prescribe measures for overcoming these constraints, and make recommendations related to potential donor involvement in support of the development of sheep and goat production. Small ruminants are viewed as an integral, but not dominant component of complex agricultural systems. Particular emphasis is placed on sheep and goats in mixed herds grazing dry rangelands and in small mixed farm systems in medium to high rainfall areas. An analysis of major constraints -- ecological, biological, policy, and socio-economic -- leads to recommendations on the need for a balanced production system approach for research, training and development programs, and for a combination of support activities such as herd health programs, and formulation of favorable credit, marketing and pricing policies for small ruminants and their products.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGoat science covers quite a wide range and varieties of topics, from genetics and breeding, via nutrition, production systems, reproduction, milk and meat production, animal health and parasitism, etc., up to the effects of goat products on human health. In this book, several parts of them are presented within 18 different chapters. Molecular genetics and genetic improvement of goats are the new approaches of goat development. Several factors affect the passage rate of digesta in goats, but for diet properties, goats are similar to other ruminants. Iodine deficiency in goats could be dangerous. Assisted reproduction techniques have similar importance in goats like in other ruminants. Milk and meat production traits of goats are almost equally important and have significant positive impacts on human health. Many factors affect the health of goats, heat stress being of increasing importance. Production systems could modify all of the abovementioned characteristics of goats.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA flagship publication of the Ministry of Agriculture, this is an authentic source of data on various facets of the agriculture and allied sector. It gives a comprehensive picture of Indian agriculture by presenting statistical data across states and time periods, covering diverse aspects, such as crop production and productivity, land use, agricultural inputs, terms of trade, price support and procurement, domestic and international trade, rainfall, credit and insurance. Though primarily based on data being continuously generated by the Ministry of Agriculture through a nation-wide agricultural data collection system and from various other central and state government Departments, the 2014 edition includes key indicators of Situation Assessment Survey of Agricultural Households 2013, made public in December 2014.
